Chris Corson
Being Human
Corson sculpts the human body to explore the human condition. He creates his figures as vessels for inner emotional life, revealing it in every contour and gesture. The works in this show have been pit-fired, adding rich color, sheen and visual depth to the emotional content of his forms.
Yuno Baswir
Remembrance
Yuno Baswir's new paintings are the result of his continued exploration and effort to use the act of painting as a way to remember and to praise The Creator. There are two main forms in his latest paintings, namely round shape or circular form, and a straight vertical line. These two forms have specific meanings for him. He takes inspiration from rituals in Islam and verses from the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam.

Elizabeth Curren & Suzanne Yurdin
Elizabeth Curren presents Weather, a series of works on paper taken from sketches dashed off as storms approached and from photos snapped just before taking shelter indoors. This year’s thunderstorm season has yielded very active cloud formations: turbulent thunderheads, red sunrises, magenta sunsets and eerie night skies. The intensity of heat, humidity, and wind have had a dramatic impact on Rhode Island’s weather these past weeks. Climate change isn’t coming: it is already here.
